Best of Orlando 2008

Best is so subjective. So when we asked you—our readers—to send us your nominations for the Best of Orlando in 83 categories, we knew there would be some disagreement. But we had faith that, somehow or other, you would arrive at a sort of collective wisdom.

In our survey, we were looking for the best in such areas as “Eat and Drink,” “Personalities,” “Goods/Services,” “Media” and the vague but useful “Potpourri.” Our categories range from such standards as “best brunch” and “best bookstore” to less expected entries, including “best place to get married,” “best pet accessories store” and “local hero.”

Surveying Orlando’s nightlife scene, we find it’s doing nicely, thank you very much. So here’s our totally selective guide to nightspots for those with discriminating tastes, along with profiles of some of the people—and a place—worth knowing about.
